Crown shyness is a naturally occurring phenomenon in some tree species where the uppermost branches in a forest canopy avoid touching one another. The visual effect is striking as it creates clearly defined borders akin to cracks or rivers in the sky when viewed from below.
Although the phenomenon was first observed in the 1920s, scientists have yet to reach a consensus on what causes it.
According to Wikipedia, it might simply be caused by the trees rubbing against one another, although signs also point to more active causes such as a preventative measure against shading (optimizing light exposure for photosynthesis) or even as a deterrent for the spread of harmful insects.

I took this photo this summer because I love knots in trees.
But it is only today I see what that tree was attempting to show me.
These hands leaning to the soil .. how amazing.
A magical moment
Love from me

This body of work is astounding. Seven volumes all of root system illustrations. I will post the link in the comments for interested folk to browse the 1000 images.
Edits:
These illustrations are from the Wurzel atlas. To do these drawings, their analysis and descriptions a group of three researchers from the Pflanzensoziologisches Institut, Klagenfurt (now in Bad Goisern, Austria), led by Prof. Dr. Lore Kutschera (1917-2008) dug up all the roots with a scriber (the metalworking tool) and drew each root. This is the culmination of 40 years worth of work!

How Trees Mother Their Seedlings
Forest ecologist Suzanne Simard studies what she calls “mother trees.” They are tall old-growth trees with vast root systems connected to hundreds of other trees via a network of fungi that allows them to share resources and information. Mother trees are the source of a forest’s resilience and renewal in the face of modern stressors, like climate change.
This breakthrough research revealed stunningly complex communications and cooperation among trees. A mother tree can even recognize its own saplings and direct more carbon, nutrients, and water to them if needed, but will also support other neighbor trees in distress.
Simard’s work led to a revolutionary premise: that the forest is a bit like a mutual aid society. “I discovered that [the trees] are in a web of interdependence, linked by a system of underground channels, where they perceive and connect and relate with an ancient intricacy and wisdom,” she writes in her new book, Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest.

I am very proud to introduce the Capibara in our gardens 
Did you know there is an animal that befriends anyone who meets their path?
That's right, that animal called ′′ Capibara ′′ is a rodent, considered the largest on the planet, that befriends any animal, including the same crocodiles
